Gandhi is an outcast at school. He is often considered annoying and a "spaz" by his classmates. However, Gandhi's desire is to be popular and constantly seeks acceptance by those around him.

He can often be found to be annoying and stupid but kind and outgoing at times. Gandhi is often portrayed as selfish, arrogant and superficial but in the same fashion that all teenagers are. He tends to find trouble even when he tries to do good. He is often hinted to be very intelligent but hides it with his outrageous behavior and underachieving.

Abe Lincoln and Gandhi have been best friends since they where babies, however Abe seems to spend more time with Joan and Cleo then with Gandhi. The two share "Best Dudes 4-Ever" lockets, as revealed in "A.D.D.: the Last D is for Disorder".

Gandhi appears to be attracted to Cleo as he once asked her to kiss him and has peeks at her getting undressed at night. Cleo however hates Gandhi and finds him gross. Gandhi revealed he used to be her foster brother until Cleo convinced her parents at a young age to disown Gandhi as he was hurting her image. Even after Gandhi donated his kidney to Cleo when she was in terrible pain. Cleo as her typical snobby self ignores that. Gandhi, just like Joan, developed a hatred for Cleopatra after a while, as he becomes aware that Cleo is trying to break up his and Abe's friendship because it would be bad for her image.

There are both similarities and differences between Gandhi and the real Gandhi. For one Gandhi is known for being bizarre and unusual similar to the real Gandhi was originally seen as by British.
